As long as one has some talents for working in the entertainment industry, there isn't anything bad if he/she does, in my opinion. What I don't like is when someone of noble/royal birth tries to have a career in the entertainment industry and his/her only gift is the surname or title he/she bears.

The Duke and Duchess of Devonshire with artist Shauna Richardson posing next to the artists latest work,
the Lionheart Project, a giant crochet sculpture of three lions in Chatsworth on May 1, 2012.

The Lionheart Project is a giant crochet sculpture of three lions reflecting the rich textile heritage of the
East Midlands. Shauna Richardson used 36 miles of Swaledale wool from the Derbyshire Dales to create
the interpretation of the three golden lions on Richard the Lionheart's coat of arms. The work will tour
the East Midlands before moving to London's Natural History Museum as part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad.

John Murray, 11th Duke of Atholl, died on 15 May 2012 in South Africa, aged 83.

The Duke was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, on 19 January 1929, as the only child of Major George Murray (a descendant of the 3rd Duke of Atholl) and his wife Joan, née Eastwood.
He was married since 15 December 1956 to Margaret Yvonne Leach, with whom he had three children: Lady Jennifer, Bruce, Marquess of Tullibardine and now the 12th Duke of Atholl, and Lord Craig.
He succeeded on 27 February 1996 to his distant cousin George Murray as the 11th Duke of Atholl, hereditary Clan Chief of Clan Murray, and Colonel-in-Chief of the Atholl Highlanders.

He is survived by his wife, their three children and many grandchildren.

It has hardly been a year since their grand society wedding, but Charlie Bowmont, the eldest son of the Duke of Roxburghe, has split from his wife, Charlotte Aitken. The break-up comes weeks before the couple would have celebrated their first anniversary. A family friend revealed that problems arose soon after the wedding but said they hoped to be able to save the marriage.

His contemporaries suggested that had Sir Winston Churchill chosen painting instead of statesmanship, he would have been a great master.
As if to prove the point, some of his artworks these days fetch serious money.

For almost 30 years, while their respective parents were living together, they were brought up as virtual sisters. Melinda Stevens, daughter of publishing heir Sir Jocelyn Stevens, and Arabella Duffield, whose mother is Selfridges heiress Dame Vivien Duffield, spent endless weekends and holidays together forging a lifelong friendship.( Scroll down for the article).

The Duchess of Argyll has voiced her 'disbelief' after learning that £100,000 of jewellery she lost at Glasgow Airport six years ago had been sold on by bosses there for a fraction of its value. The 68-year-old misplaced four items, including a Victorian diamond tiara, in a bag when she returned from London to Inveraray Castle. But when they were found by the British Airports Authority (BAA), they did not inform the police and simply sold them to a diamond merchant for just £5,000.

£5,000?! For a jewellery lot that included a Cartier brooch and an antique diamond tiara? I'd pay twice the amount without second thought.

The Duchess of Argyll's $157,000 stash of heirloom jewelry, reportedly lost at the Glasgow Airport six years ago, has finally been finally recovered. Among the goods lost was a Victorian era tiara and a Cartier broach (we'd kill to see that in an episode of "Storage Wars"). Luckily, her keen eye spotted the missing goods... in a Scottish auction catalogue before they were sold to somebody else.

The perils of traveling often begin with lost luggage, and it seems even British nobility can't escape that woe.
It all began six years ago when the Dowager Duchess of Argyll lost a bag full of precious jewelry at Scotland's Glasgow Airport after returning from London to Inveraray Castle, Clan Campbell's ancestral home, reports the Independent.

He was born on 7 September 1937, the only son (after two daughters) of the then Viscount and Viscountess Castlereagh; his father succeeded in 1949 as the 8th Marquess of Londonderry.
In 1955, Alexander, nicknamed Alistair, became the 9th Marquess, at the death of his father.
He married firstly in 1958 to Nicolette Harrison (1941-1993); they had together two daughters, Lady Sophia and Lady Cosima. Nicolette gave birth also to a son, Tristan, but it was later discovered that he wasn't fathered by the Marquess and instead was the son of singer Georgie Fame. In 1971 Alistair and Nicolette divorced.
The following year he married secondly to dancer Doreen Wells, and they became parents of two sons, Frederick (who succeeds his father as 10th Marquess of Londonderry) and Lord Reginald. Also this marriage ended in divorce in 1989.
He is survived by his four children, their families and his two sisters (Jane, Baroness Rayne, and Lady Annabel Goldsmith).

Cute story in Richard Kay's column about the wedding of Viscount Somerton and Lady Lucy Alexander. It seems they first met at another wedding where she was bridesmaid (age six) and he was pageboy (age eight).
They used the photo from that first wedding for theirs.

People often meet their future spouses at weddings, but in Lady Lucy Alexander’s case the delay before her big day was rather longer than usual.

For Lucy — delightful daughter of Earl and Countess Alexander of Tunis — and Viscount Somerton, heir of the Earl of Normanton, were six and eight respectively when they met at a wedding where they were bridesmaid and pageboy.

Twenty-one years later there were memories of that day when Lucy and fiancé James married at the Normanton family seat, Somerley in Hampshire.

On the back of the order of service was a photo of the two on the occasion they first met. The couple, who were engaged last year, had been dating for two-and-a-half years.

More than 250 family and friends were at the house — used for a TV adaptation of Mansfield Park — for Saturday’s wedding.

Says Lucy’s mother, Davina Alexander: ‘It was a lovely day. Using that photograph taken all those years ago was really sweet.’
